Abstract

The port authority of the Port of Talcahuano has the desire to expand the port. The goal of the expansion is to increase the berth space and attract more vessels, thus increasing their throughput. This report is an advise to the port authority on the possibilities of expanding. Four preliminary port designs aremadewith the requirement of the ability to berth two 180mvessels. AMulti-Criteria Analysis has been used to determine the most suitable scenario. The detailed design for this scenario is composed of a quay design, a dredging plan, an earthquake and tsunami impact analysis, market prospect analysis and a financial analysis. A technical design for port expansion, as well as a market strategy has been advised to the port authority.
